About this tour

Overview

Iceland is a land where fire meets ice — a country carved by glaciers, volcanoes, and the raw force of the North Atlantic. Begin in Reykjavik's colorful streets, then trace the Golden Circle's geysers and rift valleys before following the South Coast's black-sand beaches and thundering waterfalls. Marvel at icebergs drifting through Jökulsárlón, trek across a real glacier on a guided hike, and wind through the dramatic East Fjords to the geothermal wonders of Mývatn. Every day unveils a new, otherworldly landscape — dramatic, untamed, and unlike anywhere else on Earth.
